About Alegra
Alegra Torel has been involved in the fashion industry for over ten years, experiencing the runway firsthand as a former model, creating access into the forefront of the fashion-consulting world. The runway taught her about style, and the importance of its meaning and how one could define their own identity through what she calls “Self Expressive Art.”
As Alegra grew up, she fine tuned this talent and has become one of the world's most desired Celebrity Stylists. Alegra is an International Fashion Consultant, Fashion Blogger and Lifestyle Consultant; she has been referred to as the "Top" Lifestyle Guru by Waed, International Pop Star. The Alegra Knows Fashion Firm is ever evolving, consisting of a Full Service Expert team. The firm has a Beauty Expert, a Health Expert and of course, Alegra Torel, running the show!
Influences
One of Alegra’s favorite Celebrities whose style she loves is, Sarah Jessica Parker. "She’s got it all and she works it, whether critics get it or not. She is daring, bold and everything looks great on her. I love a risk taker!" Alegra notes.
Alegra also gains inspiration from both classic and contemporary designers such as Paul and Joe, 3.1 Philip Lim, Coco Chanel, Yves Saint Laurent, Chloe, Lanvin, Marni, Balenciaga, Tanique Coburn, Isabel Marant, Gareth Pugh, Rick Owens; the list is ever changing. One of her absolute favorite designer’s is Diane Von Furstenburg.
Today
Alegra loves what she does, which is apparent in the results she is able to achieve with each client that she styles. Her clients will tell you that she is a different kind of stylist. ‘Over the top’ they will say. ‘She doesn’t hold anything back and each session turns into a riot of laughter.’
Regardless of the destination, Alegra has each client looking and feeling absolutely fabulous – whether going on vacation, making an appearance at an event or strutting their stuff to fashion week. Alegra believes that style is more than just an outfit; “It is a way of life.” She continues by saying that, “The great thing about today is that style is just about being you. It is your self identity!” Alegra’s mantra: “One must be comfortable in their skin, on the inside and out, and clothing is as close to the skin as we can get.”
Alegra and her team currently outfit some of the most high profile individuals-not only across the country, but also throughout the world. Some of her clients include members of the Saudi Royal Family, Arabian Super Star-Waed, International Sensation-Sammy Kateb and Alex McCord & Simon VanKempen from the “Real Housewives of NYC,” only to name a few.
The Alegra Knows Fashion Firm is based in NY, but has offices in London and Paris.
